Halo 5 is all but guaranteed to be one of this year’s most popular games, and today Microsoft has given us a release date. The news comes in the form of a few tweets giving us some teasers and images to get you started.

Two of the tweets include trailers, while one reveals the release date and the last promotes an Xbox One bundle that comes with 4 games and costs only $349.

Opinion: Not a bad deal, right? Either way, this is good news for everyone. Who is signing up to get this game in October?

HTC hasn’t yet unveiled the HTC One E9, but they sure didn’t take long to announce the HTC One E9+. The latter mentioned device is expected to be a bigger iteration of the former, which makes this launch a bit odd. But hey, we don’t know what’s going on at HTC. The point is that we now know all the details on the One E9+.

This phone is actually quite awesome. It comes with a 5.5-inch QHD display, an 8-core MT6795M MediaTek processor, 3 GB of RAM and a 20 MP rear-facing camera. We still have no news on pricing and availability, but we do know this phone likely won’t make it out of China.

Opinion: Pretty neat device for those who don’t want to spend the extra cash it costs to get an HTC One M9. Thos specs don’t seem half bad, and the construction may be made of plastic, but even their plastic phones seem awesome.

The HTC One M9+ has been making the rounds around the rumor mill for some time now. The best proof came in the form of an official HTC event invite for April 8th, which clearly shows and HTC One M9-like device with a duo camera. Today we are getting what could be the best, clearest look at the phone, though.

The image comes courtesy of @UpLeaks, and it is a rendered image that shows the back, front and side of the phone. It also depicts that odd-looking home button that should double as a fingerprint reader, as well as that duo camera we thought was finally gone.

Opinion: I jsut like the simplicity that the HTC One M9 offers. I feel like the extra button and duo camera are really counterproductive at this point. They should have simply improved the size, specs, battery and screen.
